Explore Seattle: Greenwood

North of Phinney Ridge, Greenwood’s narrow streets are quiet and tidy. Houses present an interesting architectural mix from craftsman and brick Tudors to mid-century ranch homes. Shops and restaurants representing an eclectic mix of cultures line the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare Greenwood Avenue. A popular ArtWalk occurs the second Friday of each month except in May.

May features the annual Greenwood/Phinney ArtWalk, a festival of unusual performance art. From February through October, Taproot Theatre productions delight audiences. Each June, the Greenwood Car Show draws crowds of more than 20,000. A cherished community tradition, the Greenwood SEAFAIR Parade in July is one of the city’s oldest and largest summer parades.
